My first models of 2016 have finally left my workbench ready to be deployed on assorted battlefields across the 41st Millenium.

These classic GW Orlocks from 1995 will be deployed in a variety of roles in my many campaigns and games of 40k.



Their generic look and weaponry means I can deploy them as guardsman, milita, auxiliaries or cultists of assorted ilks. They are models without portfolio.



Given the current campaign that I am running for my girlfriend their first deployment will likely by as Brood Brothers in my growing Genestealer cult.



I've gone for a classic clean paint scheme to the models; similar to that being used by GW in the mid nineties.

There's a few more photos and a bit more details on my blog at:

Cheers mate! I have to I am really pleased with how the Blue and yellow works, though it does take ages to paint!

Nicely done. I was never too keen on Orlocks back in the day as I thought they were a bit bland but I can see now that they have far more uses than I first thought.

Cheers guys. They are remarkably handy as they are some of the few models available with 40k Imperial weaponry but devoid of any overt Imperial markings! I really need to do a few more ASAP!
